Swedens Alex Noren is targeting a third European Tour title of the season after setting a blistering pace on day one of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.Noren, who won the Scottish Open in July and the European Masters last month, carded a flawless 64 at Carnoustie to equal the course record on what is traditionally the toughest of the three venues used for the pro-am event.At eight under par, the 34-year-old enjoyed a one-shot lead over Englands Ross Fisher, who carded a 65 at Kingsbarns, with Joakim Lagergren and Matt Ford a shot further back after rounds of 66 at Carnoustie and Kingsbarns respectively.Starting from the 10th, Noren birdied three of his first five holes to reach the turn in 33, before picking up further shots on the first, fifth, sixth, eighth and ninth.It was tough conditions but probably one of the best rounds Ive played, so Im very happy right now, Noren said. All three courses are in probably the best shape Ive ever seen them.I like Carnoustie but Ive never shot lower than maybe 71 here. I didnt expect much but it went better than I expected. I played pretty steady all day. Made my pars where I needed to and I was never in really bad trouble, and then the putter worked fantastic.Ford is currently ranked 138th on the Race to Dubai and in need of some good results to move into the top 110 and retain his card, a feat he managed last season by finishing seventh in the final event in Hong Kong.I think you would be inhuman to not know the scenario and not know what you need, said the 38-year-old, who was ready to accept a winter job as a postman before securing his card via the qualifying school at the 10th attempt in 2014.It plays on your mind, of course it does, but its just about trying to deal with it as best as you can. I probably didnt deal with it that well until the last week of the season last year, so Ive been trying my hardest to make sure I can do something before that.For whatever reason, it has not worked out so far, so Ive been giving it my best to have a good week this week.I know what Ive got to do. But at the end of the day, a lot of this game is sometimes not in your control, especially when youre playing links golf. You just have to control what you can do and hopefully the golfing gods are watching and you can hole a few putts and things go your way.Six of Europes beaten Ryder Cup team made the journey from Hazeltine to Scotland, with Thomas Pieters, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Danny Willett and Matt Fitzpatrick all in action at Carnoustie.Pieters and Cabrera Bello, who enjoyed successful debuts despite the 17-11 defeat, fared best with rounds of 70, with Kaymer returning a 71, Willett shooting 73, Westwood recording a 75 and Fitzpatrick struggling to a 77.Its great to be back, everybody is on my side here, said Pieters, who set a record for a European rookie with four points from his five matches. Its nice.I had an interesting start. Im still very tired mentally. Started off with a drive, then shanked my four iron and got up and down from a hundred yards. It was a weird way to open the championship, but from then on pretty solid.The next two days are going to be a little easier I think.
